I've looked into both esp. living in Boston and both have bases in the region, Colgan has been a staple to th turbo prop market on the East Cast whereas Big Sky , although they ve been around out West and havedone well, they are just starting a BOS base and who know s how well they will compete. If you are wanting to stay East I reccomend Colgan i got an email this week for an interview, not sure if im gonna accept because I havemy eyes on AWAC and Eagle, but I have heard that if oyu have the hours Big Sky upgrade is a year or less
